Editorial a la Davies ffor the fsuccessfulj Graduating Class of I967j CC What is your Life if, full of toil, You burn the academic oil, And have no time, from 'Lit' or 'Math,' To loiter down the Primrose Path? No time to pick, from day to day, The Howers which line that lovely Way, No time to rag,', no time to fool , No time to metamorphose 'School' Into a sphere that's fine and jolly, Fit for the feather pate of folly, No time, or little time, for sure, To read the lurid literature, And hardly time enough, I'd say, To frolic on the Field of Play, No time, when Mischief moves, to find Catharsis of the cruder kind, And none at all, I think, to dance Attendance on a First Romance? In fact, no time to make life seem One lingering adolescent dream, With little labour, fun a-plenty And drowsy 'dolce far niente' ?', Envoi Prince, when we said we could not feel That Life was Earnest, Life was Real, Our Guardian Angel whispered low, Races are to the rats that go, And all the Powers that Be Calaslj Demand that pestilential Pass. CG L4 CThanks, Prince, for counsel kindly meant.j The Pass is 50 still Cper centl . 5 C.F.G

SCHOOL NOTES In place of the customary School Notes we are printing the Intro- duction to the final edition of Taviv by its Editor, Armando Avila. This monthly paper, written by the boys and printed almost uncen- sored, has reached major stature, and perhaps the best compliment which the Headmaster can pay it is to reprint, without comment, this Editorial in place of the usual School Notes. It has been a good year and the singing of the School Song on Speech Day indicated the excel- lent spirit which now prevails and for which, of course, the Senior boys, of whom the proportion has been quite small, are chiefly respon- sible. I hope that succeeding generations will build well on the platform they have laid. H.M. fTat'iU, Editorial, june 1, 19685 This year has witnessed one of the greatest comebacks the School has seen in its history. Starting with apparently little, we have achieved much. The lack of experienced boys did not only plague us in the Athletic department, but also in other various school activities, such as the Cadet Corps, the Debating Society, Drama Club and several others, including Tennis, which had previously managed to escape virtually untouched. Although we didn't win many Rugby games and didn't have a power- packed team as in past years, they proved themselves quite well and never gave up. In September it was really frightful to see our Cadet Corps parade, and everybody thought that we would never make it to Inspection Day. However, we made it and, after Inspection Day was over on May 11, nothing but compliments could be heard about the Corps. On behalf of all Cadets and Officers I would like to thank Captain N. C. Rhodes and Lt. D. B. Camp for helping us achieve this standard, and would like to take this opportunity to wish them the best of luck for next year. The Projection Club managed to steer through the year without any considerable or major problems. The films which were presented were all received enthusiastically. Special mention should be made of the Drama Club, which presented Quality Streetl' together with N.H.S., which proved to be a complete success. Other school events, such as Ski Trips, School Chapel Services, Christ- mas Dinner and School Dances, were carried out much to everybody's satisfaction. When we look back on this year I think that we can all say with great satisfaction that we have achieved something, and let it never be said that we didnlt do our best. The year was climaxed by the opening of the Swimming Pool, which began to operate at the beginning of the Summer Term. The Pool itself has the same dimensions as the previous one, but the actual building Cwhich is brand-newj is bigger than the previous one, with completely re-styled locker rooms and showers. The Pool was given a new bottom and new tiles were put in. I think that everybody is using this new 7
